Waiver & Release.

Voluntary participation

I am choosing, of my own free will, to take part in physical training with Yogi Athletics — an online coaching practice operated by Shashank Sharma (“Yogi Athletics”). This may include weight training, conditioning, mobility work and yoga, coached remotely over video and through written plans.

Medical readiness and my representations

By signing, I confirm that:

• I am at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement;
• I am in good physical health and know of no medical condition that makes exercise unsafe for me;
• I have obtained medical clearance where appropriate — for example if I am pregnant or postpartum, recovering from injury, surgery or illness, or managing a chronic condition; and
• I will disclose relevant injuries, symptoms, medications and limitations honestly, and keep my coach updated as they change.

Assumption of risk

I understand that exercise carries an inherent risk of injury — including muscle strains, sprains, fractures, and in rare cases serious injury, cardiac events or death — and that these risks cannot be fully eliminated. Knowing this, I voluntarily and knowingly assume all risk of injury, loss or damage arising from my participation, whether foreseen or not.

Release and waiver of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive and agree not to sue Yogi Athletics and Shashank Sharma from and for any claim, demand, injury, loss or damage arising out of or connected to my participation in training, coaching, assessments or any activity Yogi Athletics describes — including claims based on ordinary negligence. This release does not apply to gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and it does not waive any right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Online coaching — my responsibility

I understand my coach is not physically present, cannot spot me or inspect my equipment, and relies on the information I provide. I am responsible for a safe training space and suitable, well-maintained equipment; for using appropriate form and load; and for stopping and seeking medical help if I feel chest pain, dizziness, sharp pain or any concerning symptom. If I believe I am having a medical emergency, I will call emergency services rather than wait to contact my coach.

Recording and media consent

Coaching may involve recording sessions or taking photos so my coach can review form and give feedback. Whether I allow this is optional and I choose it on the form below. Any material I allow will be used for coaching purposes only, and will not be used in marketing without my separate written consent.

Agreement to the policies

I confirm I have read and agree to the Disclaimer, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which together with this waiver form the agreement between me and Yogi Athletics.

Signature

Typing my full legal name below is my electronic signature and has the same effect as signing on paper. The date is recorded automatically, and a record of my acknowledgement is kept on file. If anything here is unclear, I will ask train@yogiathletics.com before signing.
